Winter is the "peak season" of medical institutions, and the sudden drop of temperature will have various adverse effects on the human body, especially those who are tired and weak. People's livelihood is more prosperous and happier, but the medical industry is more prosperous and more nerve-racking. When I was an intern in a big hospital, my seniors didn't order Hawaiian pizza or eat pineapple, for fear that they would get sick suddenly.
The devil kept his vitality carefully. Traditional Chinese medicine, Tibetan medicine and Ayurvedic medicine all teach people to conform to the natural rhythm, and the four seasons should be different. Western medicine uses inductive statistics to find out the "devil time" and "black time" of diseases, such as stroke, cerebral hemorrhage and myocardial infarction, which are most likely to occur in cold mornings.
Health should adapt to the "season". If this is the case all year round, I'm afraid the more serious it is, the worse my health will be. Feel and cope with seasonal changes with body and mind.
It's cold, don't insist on running in the morning, but go to the gym and work hard on weight training, and it's the same when it's hot. People with fragile blood vessels should spend the winter gently and calmly. People with weak lungs or constitution who are prone to catching a cold should not run around when they can rest.
Especially for patients with hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, strenuous exercise and intense mood swings should be avoided in the early morning of winter. Sometimes it's not that I'm overjoyed and furious, but that people around me are angry, screaming and screaming irregularly. If they feel that they can't afford it, they can ignore him and find an excuse to slip away. This is not heartless, but "to preserve our sanity".
In winter, I want to keep fit from two aspects: sleeping and eating. There are the following principles:
1. Go to bed early, get up late and take your time. Take a nap at noon for 20~30 minutes if possible.
2. Eat seven or eight minutes full, but don't lose weight hungry. Dietary supplements and medicinal supplements should be based on personal physique and avoid excessive supplementation.
5 strokes of blood preservation The human body has self-healing ability, but if the body temperature is too low, the efficacy of self-healing and immunity will be greatly reduced, so to cope with the cold winter, we must first warm ourselves up!
1 trick: it doesn't matter if you stay in bed when the cold current strikes. You don't have to get up in the morning or work hard in the cold wind. Reduce the number of times you ride, walk more, and wear shoes in your spare time until you are warm all over, so that your blood will warm up and flow to your fingertips, lower body and feet, and you will feel comfortable all day.
The second trick: Although it is said that "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step", the source of all kinds of colds and diseases also begins with the feet. Keep your feet warm in winter, and it's easier to fall asleep. Before going to bed, you can soak in hot water for foot bath, or you can fully acupoints on the soles of your feet and calves (I will especially strengthen Yongquan, Taichong and Sanyinjiao), or you can wear socks to sleep. Choose one of the three methods. In addition, I have observed that many people will step on the cold tiles barefoot, so I suggest wearing indoor slippers in winter!
The third measure: don't expose your shoulders and abdomen in your daily clothes, wear a hat and scarf, and make good use of physical means to stop the cold invasion. When going to windy and empty places or crowded places, remember to wear a mask to prevent respiratory discomfort caused by inhaling cold air and prevent the spread of influenza.
The fourth measure: with the help of intravenous laser therapy, improve blood viscosity, increase oxygen carrying capacity and promote microcirculation. The thermal effect produced by laser is to increase molecular energy and collision frequency through mild thermal energy, thus activating the activity of blood cells and achieving the purpose of maintaining blood vessels. For people who are frail and unable to exercise by themselves due to joint injury, intravenous laser provides another way to promote blood circulation, but it must be diagnosed and implemented by professional doctors.
The fifth measure: it is the fastest way to warm hands, which is more effective and environmentally friendly than holding a warm bag all day. I always say that altruism is self-interest. Do you think it's filial piety, helping parents, grandparents? In fact, the biggest beneficiary is yourself. Improving peripheral circulation and smoothing qi and blood are helpful to indirectly prevent the three highs.
Eliminating cold and saving lives, happiness is the key. When you don't take medicine casually, calm down, keep good intentions, change selfish and narrow-minded thoughts and let go of your obsession, your enthusiasm and blood can keep your body healthy, which is the best way to drive away the cold.
1 type: Many anti-inflammatory painkillers have antipyretic effects, but before taking them, you must check your condition and ask your doctor for advice. If there is no special need, don't continue to take these drugs to lower your body temperature. Don't buy medicine as soon as you get sick or hear others say "this is good"
The second type: starting from the diet, drink hot soup instead of ice, and drink warm water instead of sugary drinks such as cola. Choose more stewed temperate dishes and eat less cold tropical dishes.
Find out what kind of food can keep you warm, which may be brown sugar and ginger tea, or it may be the "water of life" for Scots-whisky. I used to live in Tibetan areas and drink highland barley wine, but now I often eat hot pot and drink warm sake. I find it easier to get rid of the cold in the abdomen. However, everyone's physique is different, and the suitable warm-up diet has to be explored slowly.
The third type: static psychological qi. We often say "my heart is cold" or "my heart is cold". In fact, if I am depressed, indifferent, greedy, world-weary, proud and nervous, my body temperature will really drop.
Some Tibetan practitioners change their habits and get rid of wrong opinions by practicing the "clumsy fire method". When the fire enters the meridians, the body temperature will rise to an incredible level. Master will test his disciples' skills by covering them repeatedly with cloth soaked in ice water to see if they can dry the cloth repeatedly with body temperature. If we can say that the cultivation is successful, the cold will not invade and all diseases will not be contagious. Stupid fire depends on geography and chance, and it can only be practiced by the teacher's teaching.
Most people want to be calm, just practice qigong, yoga, Tai Chi, Baduanjin and Yijinjing.
The fourth kind: altruism turns around. Through various behaviors or well-meaning thoughts that benefit others, the body can gradually warm up from the beginning of warming the heart. Researchers at Aalto University in Finland made temperature maps of various emotions. Proud and angry people are both hot and cold, especially when they are sad and depressed. Shyness, anxiety and jealousy can make your limbs cold.
If you want to be warm all over, "love" and "happiness" are the answers! Feeling loved and loved, feeling happy and happy not only warms your heart, but also increases your body temperature.
Start the switch of health from the heart, and start by becoming the "winter sunshine" for yourself and others!
